Tour season is upon us again...

Randy leaves tomorrow at noon to head to D.C. for their first show since the Cascade show last October. It has been almost a year since he was diagnosed with cancer. I remember him putting off his surgery, (before we KNEW he had cancer), just so that he could play in Redding. Little did we know, they would have to put off a whole year's worth of touring. A lot of changes have happened in the band this year:

1. Jon Young quit the band2. Randy went through 14 rounds of chemo3. Jeremy and Meghan have conceived a baby girl, due in 2 months4. John Scholfield quit the band5. I gained 20 pounds!!!6. We've seen miracles happen almost daily. well maybe weekly, but certainly enough to rejoice daily

It's weird to embrace change, but that's what we have to do. Just take it. Pray over it, then go head strong into the future with our heads held high, and out hearts in God's hands.

I am so thankful to all of our friends, acquaintances, prayer warriors, gift givers, RENT SUPPLIERS... without you guys, this year would have been impossible. We received meals for 4 months (hence most of the 20 pounds i gained. What? it was really good food!)Our rent was paid for a whole year. Our living expenses too. I've always had a shoulder to cry on, friends to laugh with, and our health. NO ONE GOT SICK THIS YEAR! not one cold or flu. There are some of you, you know who you are, that have given me more than i deserve as far as support and love. Thank you.

so he's leaving in just over 12 hours. i need to go to bed so I'm not an emotional train wreck tomorrow. good night!

Just checking in to see how the departure went. We are still praying strong for you and the family. Shifting prayers a bit to include safety on the road. :) Let us know if you need or want anything. Even if you just don't feel like cooking or scrubbing your toilet. Email me and I'll come help with what ever. Love to you all!

My babies

Never forgotten...

We said goodbye to Randy on November 5th 2010. He encouraged everyone else until the end, and still manages to show his love for us through his strong spirit. His legacy still lives on in our hearts, and for that God, we thank you.
